Welcome to
Wolf Mountain Kindred
OUR MISSION
We are an Asatru Non-Profit organization, that follows the old Scandinavian/Germanic faith. Our priorities are teaching the lessons found in the faith, community outreach, and protecting the forest and her spirits.
For Tradition and Honor, Wolf Mountain Kindred (Vargbergsatten) is a community of like minded individuals who follow the Sacred Ways of Old. We foster an environment for learning and kinship, for devotion to our Gods and Ancestors. We recognize and honor the Æsir, Vanir, and Jötunn Gods. We strive to increase our presence with, and strengthen our connection to the Vættir and Ancestors. We strengthen our bonds through sacrifice, feasting, and sumble. We understand that though we are individuals, we are all connected through our actions within the Wyrd. As our actions come to pass, Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld weave our fates and the fate of this Kindred. We understand that our actions dictate the future, and as such our decisions and progress should be made with a collective honorable intent. This Kindred understands and honors the legacy of those who came before us, our collective sacred ancestors. Norse, and Germanic ways are welcomed here with open arms. Both cultures’ ways are learned and taught, as we understand the evolution of our spirituality and where it came from. Our biggest focus as a community is that of the Hearth Fire. Wherever the Hearth Fire burns our community will gather. While we recognize the modern necessity of technology, we are the most invested in gathering our folk, in person, to commune with the mighty Deities of our faith! Wolf Mountain Kindred learns from and seeks the wisdom of the Hávamál, Sagas, Eddas, and the Sacred Runes. May the wisdom gained from these sources and life experience reflect in our teachings, rituals, and our Bylaws.
​
IN ADDITION:
We are a 501c3 Non-Profit organization. We are primarily a religious organization for those who practice Asatru/Norse Paganism. Over the last few years we have been focusing on building WMK for our members, providing online classes, holding ceremonies and blots, and ensuring our promises to them were met.
Now, with the support that we have received from both members and those outside the Kindred, we can finally step forward into our next goal: Helping the land and community around our various locations across the country! From 2025 forward, WMK now has the resources and ability to extend a helping hand to the forests, animals, and people that surround us every day. You will soon see us at soup kitchens, food drives, animal shelters, animal sanctuaries, homeless shelters, youth programs, and much more!
Our goals when we started were to give the members an Asatru Organization that followed tradition. They have now evolved into not only giving our members what we promised, but also showing the community what it means to be a Norse/Germanic Pagan, and it means COMMUNITY.

4. After the in person meet or interviews, the board will convene on the decision of whether or not to invite you into the kindred. Again, this has not time limit, as more interactions through discussions and face to face may be warranted.
5. Once the board makes a decision you will be notified via a typed letter in your email. Should you choose to accept the invitation at that point, you will receive your certificate and letter of good standing in the mail. The membership fee MUST be paid in full within three months of you accepting the invitation to become a full member, followed by paying your dues.
